We finally reached New Jersey.  We were driving along the high way in a car that we... appropriated.  Hey, the whole world is gonna end, nobody will miss the Camaro we sto- borrowed.  I was driving, Sarah was in the shotgun seat, and Alexa and Lucas were jammed in the back.

Lucas: Are we there yet?

YN / Alexa / Sarah: No.

Lucas: Are we there yet?

YN / Alexa / Sarah: No.

Lucas: Are we there yet?

YN / Alexa / Sarah: No!

There was a brief silence.  Did he finally stop?

Lucas: Are we the-

YN / Alexa / Sarah: NO!

Alexa: Dammit, Lucas, do you have ANYTHING you can do to entertain yourself?

Lucas: Oh, I'm sorry, I don't have a sword that turns into a GAME BOY!

Alexa and Lucas started fighting in the backseat.  After about ten minutes, they stopped and I realized they were asleep.  I looked to my left, and Sarah was snoring softly... cute.  I just sighed, and turned on the radio.

Reporter: As you can see, behind me there is a freak storm brewing.  New York has never experienced waves or wind like this, and the same can be said for many of the other cities along the north-east coast who are experiencing the same thi-

I turned off the radio.  Poseidon and Zeus are really getting heated.  I saw another car on the road ahead of us, a beat up red truck, and behind the wheel... is that Percy?  He's, like, twelve!  Why is he driving a car?

I honked the horn at them as I pulled up to drive next to them.  Percy looked towards me and began to pull over.  I followed suit, parking the car behind theirs.  I noticed that the others were still sleeping, so I got out and walked over to the truck.

YN: Percy, there is no chance that you have a drivers license...

He scratched the back of his head while Annabeth jumped out and stormed towards me, a pissed off look on her face.

Annabeth: What are you doing here?  This was OUR quest.

She glared at me.

YN: We got a quest after you left.  Chiron sent us to help you.

Annabeth: Yeah, well last time you tried to "help", my best friend was killed in front of me!

Lucas and Sarah's eyes widened in shock.  I stared at her with a stunned expression, but it was quickly replaced by rage.  For a split second, my eyes flashed bright green as I glared at her.  Percy backed away and Annabeth looked nervous.

YN: You know what?  You're right! I tried to save her but I couldn't!  And in case you forgot, I got a spear through the chest trying.  So pull that olive branch out of your ass, Chase!

She stepped back, surprised by my outburst.

YN: Thalia was my friend too, Annabeth.  Don't ever forget that.

She looked down, sadly.  I walked over and hugged her, and she hesitantly hugged back.

Annabeth: I... I'm sorry.

YN: I know.  I'm sorry too.

I pulled away, seeing Alexa yawning and stepping out of our car.

Alexa: About time.  We've been driving all day trying to catch up to you.

Percy: Yeah, well you guys are lucky you didn't.

I looked at him confused.  Alexa walked over.

Alexa: Monster attack?
